Drowsiness or Loss of Consciousness
Loss of consciousness and impaired consciousness are symptoms that need to be taken seriously. If a person faints, struggles to maintain consciousness, or is confused or extremely dizzy, they should see a doctor right away.
A hospital is usually the safest place to manage and treat symptoms for those with severe dengue. Untreated severe dengue fever can kill up to 20 percent of those who develop it. However, with proper supportive care and treatment, 99 percent of people with severe dengue survive.5‘Dengue Fever - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf.’ National Center for Biotechnology Information, 24 Apr. 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430732/
